The article presents a reflection on the work of psychologists in Support Nuclei Family Health (NASF) of Belo Horizonte. It is motivated by the intention of providing more knowledge about the psychologist practices in the new settings of Primary Health Care. In this sense, this study sought to understand the role of psychologists in the NASF of Belo Horizonte, following their settlement process. We used the method of qualitative research, and literature review, analysis of government documents related to the issue under study and semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven psychologists who worked in teams of NASF. Following the early work of the NASF in Belo Horizonte and its direction to offer interdisciplinary support to Family Health Teams (ESF), the data suggest that “psi” practices are being created by those teams in the field. Dialogues based on the knowledge gathered, represented by the Health Nuclei, are held, as well as dialogues that include the ESF and the teams of NASF, and the health teams and the population itself. We believe that these meetings, concepts and practices in various health practices compose fruitful dialogues and debates.
